Happy Pride Month and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month to my favorite ship in Fallout New Vegas: Colonel James Hsu x Captain Ronald Curtis!

Archaic April @thepromptfoundry day 28 - Handwritten Correspondence

The NCR made its soldiers write "last letters" to be sent to their families or loved ones in the event of their death in battle, you can see those Forlorn Hope letters.

Boone, when he was killed, dropped a letter titled 'For Carla.'

I imagine Manny wrote a letter for his folks back in the Khans. O'Hanrahan would write individual letters for his family members, to his sisters, his ma, and his pa

Major Dhatri would write to his daughter and her husband. Private Kowalski would write to his other brother, urging him to avenge all those killed by the Legion

Colonel Hsu wrote well for his family. He was good at writing, so he poured his heart into the letters, and then he added a special letter for Ronald Curtis

Captain Curtis wrote for a brother named Fox, but then he wrote something for James Hsu too

One of the reasons why I absolutely love the Ronald Curtis/James Hsu pair is their flexibility in the story. In a Legion ending, Ronald goes crazy and probably takes James as his POW. In an NCR ending, Ronald just continues the shit he already does. In a Yes Man ending, they just run away somewhere, etc! There are so many possibilities!

​But one of my favorite tropes is when Ronald slowly becomes the mask. Ronald swore to destroy the NCR, but he slowly realized he preferred the life of a Captain to the life of a Frumentarius. He's tired

James's kind heart leads him to defect from the Legion and choose a different path
